Special Program Events

We invite you to join us at Wellness House for an inspiring evening with Dr. Jim Olson of Seattle Children’s Hospital, a leading physician-scientist whose 25-year career has been dedicated to improving treatments for children with brain cancer.
 
Dr. Olson will share the latest updates on his groundbreaking research aimed at discovering therapies that are both more effective and less toxic than current options. His pioneering work has led to over a dozen clinical trials, including the creation of Tumor Paint—a revolutionary drug that helps surgeons distinguish cancerous tissue from healthy brain tissue. Today, his innovative efforts are exploring how a child’s own immune cells can be used to fight cancer.
